Third Power Life

In today's grab bag episode, we pulled the "Best Time Saving Tip" card… I got the PodDecks Episode Pack from Travis Brown after watching him on my friend Phil Gerbyshak's podcast. So I HAD to grab my book "Time Concentration"… #timeconcentration #lifehack #thirdpowerlife #poddecks For more info about Phil Gerbyshak https://philgerby.com/ For more info about PodDecks https://poddecks.com/

Sometimes we have to find creative ways to get our workout in… So today is a real extemporaneous example of Time Concentration. And we had some fun… #workout #housework #houseworkworkout #thirdpowerlife #relationships

I talk a lot about drifting vs having a purpose. As I was working on a speech outline tonight, it came into clearer focus.  We are either a Drifter, or a Commander. The commander is in control of their life, and a Drifter is letting others have control. Lets take Command! #commander #thirdpowerknight #drifter #thirdpowerlife

When we are working, there is pressure.. There is work.. The outcome of that pressure goes two ways… Stress, or Passion. Work for something you don’t like is Stress Work for something you love is Passion One will kill you and the other makes you feel alive. #stress #passion #thirdpowerlife #dowhatyoulove

Is the identity we have about ourselves and our roles true to our current reality? Has our life shifted, and we now need to be someone else than who we have always imagined ourselves to be? What does that look like? #identity #identityshift #thirdpowerlife #newrole

Yesterday I talked about how a deadline is important and I was working on a presentation for work until 1 AM. The question I am asking myself today is: Why do I have that level of dedication for my job, but do not for my personal business or personal goals? #dedication #work #job #goals #business #thirdpowerlife

When it just HAS to get done, it somehow gets done. I recorded this at 1 AM after working on a presentation that HAD to be done for the next day.  Where did the magic come from to make it appear?  I had a hard deadline. So what in your life could you get done if it HAD to be done? #deadline #doitnow #getitdone #thirdpowerlife

We will do far more for those we care about than we will for ourselves. So when you are having a bad day, ask yourself, who needs me to show up on my A-game? The issues you face today will fade after a short time, but what you do today can have generational impact. Don’t let the small challenges you face hurt that future. #badday #agame #showup #pushthrough #thirdpowerlife

Dan Gets Real….. You need to get clear on WHY you are doing what you are doing. Why are you striving for more? Is it just ego? In order for any real change, you need to get leverage you yourself. #getreal #purpose #dreams #why #Difference #thirdpowerlife

On site at one of my favorite places on earth, the Rainbow River in Dunnellon, FL There is a great saying from Montana, you want to have the map BEFORE you go into the woods. Otherwise you will wander aimlessly for years..   Same for our lives. We need to have the map of where we want to go. Also, what does it mean when self-doubt raises it's head? What should we do? #lifemap #purpose #t...

In an interview with Matthew McConaughey he was talking about adventures he has had in his life, and how whenever we are faced with something "risky", meaning out of our comfort zone, there are 3 possible outcomes. And when you look back on your life, You can either know what happened, or wonder what could have happened… I know which one I prefer. #experience #risk #thirdpowerlife #confidence #nev...

Anything important is going to require failure.  That is the basis of science…  Try something, fail, try something else, fail, try again, eureka! This is the essence of Purpose. Something worth failing for. #failforward #purpose #ThirdPowerLife

Tonight, I took my first Improv class. My friend Mark Gai invited me to his Improv class… I have not had so much fun learning in a really long time. If you want to have more fun and spontaneity in your speaking, you should really look for an Improv class near you. #improv #fun #communication #thirdpowerlife

How can you be someone's lighthouse?  The whole point of a lighthouse is to stand there, tall and put its light out saying, warning. There's danger here.  We have all been through experiences that have been difficult for us, some of us more than one or two. Let us all be a lighthouse and keep people from the dangers we know lurk there. #service #lighthouse #thirdpowerlife #lifeexperience

This morning in Daytona Beach my 12 year old came in at 6:30 and asked if we could go watch the sunrise.  He & I went down and watched the sunrise over the ocean from our hotel. It was magnificent. I really wanted to share that moment with you and how grateful it made me feel. Here is the link to the YouTube version of this podcast https://youtu.be/Evx-yyC6b80 Here is the link to JUST the...

At Daytona beach with the family and as my son & I were getting in the cold Atlantic water, it reminded me very much of goal setting and taking action with our Quest… Do we slowly move deeper into the cold water?  Toes, ankles, knees, etc.. Or do we jump in with massive action? #divein #coldwater #goalsetting #massiveaction #thirdpowerlife

There will be days when you are down. Days that you questions whether you have it in you to do the things you know you should do. Those are the pivotal days. Will you do what you have committed to do? Courage. We all suffer. Keep Going.  --Graeme Fife #dothework #commitment #thirdpowerlife

How do we keep our dreams alive when the easy path does not pan out? All the exciting ideas we had when we were thinking about winning the lottery were fun. Now lets take the ones we really want to do and start working towards them. #dreams #makedreamsreal #dothework #thirdpowerlife #realdreams

I bought a lottery ticket today…   I usually define a lottery as "a tax on people who are bad at math" since the likelyhood of actually winning is so small…  however… when it gets over a billion dollars, I think $2 is worth it for the entertainment value alone..  But what if you won? What dreams do you have if money were no object? #lottery #dreams #fantasy #thirdpowerlife #dreamaga...

Speaking in front of people can be frightening. Some even say it is more frightening than death… The reality is, it is an important skill for any successful person. One of the best ways I know to build our ability and confidence is through Toastmasters. In my opinion, everyone should join Toastmasters at least once in their life. #toastmasters #publicSpeaking #communications #thirdpowerlife

Any time I can intertwine Dr. Who and an inspirational message, it is a good day! "Winning? Is that what you think it's about? I'm not trying to win. I'm not doing this because I want to beat someone, or because I hate someone, or because I want to blame someone. It's not because it's fun. God knows it's not because it's easy. It's not even because it works because it hardly ever does.. I DO WHAT...

The Moment you think the grass is greener is the beginning of a cancer in your life and in your relationship. The key to happiness is not to be looking for other greener pastures, the key is to water and fertilize your OWN pasture… #greener #fidelity #honor #gressisgreener #thirdpowerlife

"Doubt Kills More Dreams than Failure Ever Will"  - Suzy Kassem The fear of starting. It is the death of many dreams. We are afraid that if we start we will fail. Or we are not good enough to accomplish what we want. Or it will be more difficult than we think. Or a million different excuses… It is doubt… and it is a killer… far better is to give ourselves the illusion that we will do it "some...

I am working through my welcome email sequence and I have been talking a lot about why I do what I do.. I wanted to share with you what led me to do this podcast and why I work so hard to make a difference in the world. I am here to help you not make the same mistakes I made.  #originstory #lifelessons #thirdpowerlife #thequest

Don't be lazy in thought. From my reading of Rich Dad, he mentions how his rich dad forbade fim from saying "I can't afford it", instead ask "How can I afford it?". Because the first shuts down your brain, and the second puts your mind to work for you.  "I can't afford it" is being lazy. The same goes for all areas of our lives. We will mentally shut down with "I can’t afford it" or "I cant t...
